Ian Cathro answers daughter’s video call during Saint-Étienne press conference | OneFootball

Ian Cathro took a video call from his daughter in the middle of Saint-Étienne’s pre-Grenoble press conference, prompting smiles in the room.

According to L'Équipe, the exchange came while a question was being asked, with the Scot briefly answering as she marked her first day back at school, brought forward by around 10 days compared with France.

The moment arrived with ASSE enjoying a calmer start than last season’s finale, when they lost the Ligue 1 promotion play-off to Nice 0-0, 1-4.

This term has opened with two convincing wins, Sochaux beaten 3-0 on opening day and Clermont 3-1 the following weekend.

Cathro, appointed on eight June, has his side top of the table before Grenoble’s visit on Saturday at 20:00 at Geoffroy-Guichard.

The 40-year-old remains unbeaten in official matches with Saint-Étienne, with two victories to date.

He showed his daughter the assembled journalists, encouraged a hello, promised to call back, checked she was fine, explained he was at a press conference, said he loved them, then signed off with a ciao.
